But we all have to agree that the USA is the more infantile of all The Nations, and since the end of the last war they have made no effort to grow up. They have created Russia Gate where no other nation would Dream up such Trivia.

Kjell • 6 years ago

JFK murder was about replacing the president elected by the people. Russia-gate has the same goal. When the American president is enemy, you are not American

As shown in this article, the American media has a long track record of misreporting key news items:

Can someone tell the big fat cowards exercising around North Korea to please shut the hell up? Cowards make a lot of noise. When Libya was invaded there were no exercises, when Iraq was invaded there were no exercises...... when Vietnam was invaded there were no exercises....

It is obvious to the world that the fat cowards cannot attack a nuclear armed country. They are too yellow bellied to do anything but beat their chest like some stupid gorilla in an African jungle.

Please cut out the announcements of exercises after exercises, it is clogging the airwaves. We are all tired of your stupid exercises... if you want to attack go ahead and get your fat asses whipped like a slave running away from its masters.

Shameless cowards are now becoming highly annoying... it can be called Propaganda terrorism. Cut that nonsense out. You cannot beat North Korea, you know it, the rest of the world knows it. You cannot fight China or Russia, the rest of the world knows it ... so please shut up once and for all.

You are terrorizing the airwaves with your exercise after exercise after exercise. Practice control of the ships that are becoming a maritime hazzard to commercial ships. That is what you need to practice.

Nobody is impressed with your over-bloated expensive war equipment which fail under war conditions. Cut out the exercises before we start turning off our ears for your propaganda.

YELLOW BELIED COWARDS!!!!! Go poison an innocent person or kill a child....it may make you feel better... Big fat cowards.!

I am also very tired of the bluster . They flap their gums and taunt .Enough already . You have made fools of yourselves in the eyes of the world .
All the while the real diplomacy is going on between South Korea and China with North Korea paying close attention,I am sure.The Russian / Chinese proposal of a rail system from South Korea through North Korea and into China connecting to the connection grid of all of Asia is a far greater prospect for the peace initiative than the saber rattling presently outwardly being displayed.

Jim Mooney • 6 years ago

A Chinese rail system IS the answer. The N Koreans, especially after Libya, really do fear invasion. But with a Chinese system in their nation they know China could not tolerate one.

Guy • 6 years ago

Absolutely Jim.With Chinese protection , NK would be left to proceed towards peace .Of this I have no doubt .They do not want war , but they do need assurances that they will not get invaded.China's umbrella would be the answer.
Cheers and all the best to you for the new year .Let's hope it will be a good one.

"American media simply were not interested in knowing what Russians were thinking since that might get in the way of their construction of what Russians should be thinking".

Reminds me of the classic American boss's remark:

"Any time I want your opinion, I'll tell you it".

Emmet Sweeney • 6 years ago

The whole thing is orchestrated by the Zionist state within a state which controls not only America but most of the West - and own the entire mainstream media. They cannot forgive Trump for wanting to make peace with Russia. Their hatred of Christian Russia is visceral and unhinged.

John C Carleton • 6 years ago

Russiangate is concocted BS, to keep the ignorant American sheep , from understanding Israel picked the "president of the USA".
That American children are murdering innocent children in foreign lands, for the benefit of, not Israel, it is just a figment of the imagination, as the USSR was, and the USA is, but the owners of Israel, City of London, Usury bankers.
Pedophile scum!

Kjell • 6 years ago

- understanding Israel picked the "president of the USA".

The fraud is in every election district. Israel cannot afford the bussing of Liberals. This is too large for some poor nation like Israel. You are making up "Israel", just like Gordon Duff. It tells me you are the same as Gordon Duff.

tom • 6 years ago

'...by their own admission, “no conclusive proof has surfaced.”'

This is actually quite a neat and elegant example of the kind of deceptive language routinely used by politicians and the media.

It is, of course, entirely true that no conclusive proof has surfaced. Indeed, that must follow from the equally true and indisputable fact that no proof of any kind has surfaced. Actually, nothing even vaguely resembling proof has surfaced. There is no evidence at all - not the slightest scrap.

But by slipping in that little adjective "conclusive" the journalist manages to convey quite a strong impression that there is proof - only not quite conclusive proof.

It is just as dishonest and cynical as Ronald Reagan's 1984 campaign remark, "I am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience".

rosemerry • 6 years ago

What an excellent article. If only people who have a very small knowledge of Russia/USA relations would bother to read this and reflect upon it, a lot of misconceptions could be cleared up if goodwill is part of the picture.

It appears Mr. Putin and Mr. Trump are cooperating on terrorism. Specifically, the threats regarding St. Petersberg, Russia.

A liberal nutcase might call this collusiion; others would describe it as cooperation.

Common sense or reason triumphs!

Guest • 6 years ago

Sure is "interesting" that the CIA knows exactly where the "terrorists" are in Russia.

So "nice" of them to inform their "partner" right before the attack.

How "pragmatic" of the Russians to enthuse thanks and offer support to Daddy.

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what really went down, although the numpty RF leadership can't seem to stop falling over itself thanking Uncle Sham.

Thomas Malthaus • 6 years ago

I think at times the CIA is actually assisting the Russian security services with terror operations. I realize it doesn't make sense with Langley assisting ISIS in Syria, but that's the world we appear to have: selective cooperation.

I don't know if the FSB has the levels of electronics signals intelligence the US has, I do know the US and Russia may have cooperated in raids resulting in deaths of two Caucaus Emirates leaders in 2014-2015. I believe that group has since disbanded and members probably blended into other terror groups.

The thing that is absolutely ridiculous is that the American media and Deep State are what is causing this trouble. I don't know why they want to have a World War so badly, but the only thing keeping our two countries from destruction is Vladimir Putin's hard work and good nature, and Trump's defiance of his "staff." These Deep State actors in the US have hidey-holes they can run to in case of the unthinkable, but they couldn't care less about the people of the US--let alone Russia. Their day is coming, and they'll be praying for their mountains to fall on them when it does. Anyone in the US that's paying any attention at all knows the real story on this, and none of those who do are blaming anyone in Russia. If the day ever comes that the US Deep State takes to their bunkers, they better be prepared to stay in there--Balrogs or no Balrogs--because those of us who manage to survive above will be looking for their sorry azzes when they come out!!!

You can call me Al • 6 years ago

I think that is a great comment.

Just to take your comment a little further ;- get to know every plumber and builder in your area as I am, get on a friendly basis and ask about these "Deep State actors in the US have hidey-holes" over a pint or two.

Then I am starting a crowdfunding fund to bring in "hundreds of thousands" to pay them to screw up their sewage facilities in their hidey-holes SO THEY CAN down in their own BS.

Jim Mooney • 6 years ago

I had a feeling Navalny was another Yeltsin. A stooge for global corporatism and rape of nations.

John McClain • 6 years ago

Lord Acton stated long ago, "power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. All nations go through this issue at some point, and very few ever get it right, accounting for the regular rise of new powers, with new ideas, subsuming old standing sets of National relations, changing the balance of power over a short period of time, and when this takes place, a "power" is going to go down hard, and if they realize it, they will often do their utmost for destruction, a temper tantrum, as they are put out of power.
America came to act in concert with the world, largely because of the fall of the French and Spanish empires, and the changing of the British empire, into less colonial, more egalitarian form of rule, providing a template we would follow, beginning with "the Great War", where we became an "equal player" equal to any on the world playing field, and from there, retreated back to our own shores, expecting Europe to resolve issues post Geneva, not needing us.
Those crony corporatists who profited greatly from the sale of war materiel, were determined to keep the U.S. government involved in European affairs, because Europe had long history of endless wars, and this was seen as the opportunity to profit, while never being at risk, themselves, so we aided the rise of Germany again, while also aiding "the allied nations", and profiting from all sides but Russia, which we did our utmost to stay clear of, for "cost" reasons.
That time between wars provided for lots of interaction between corporate U.S. interests, and their cronies in government, and the "warfare state" evolved to become a primary player in our politics.
The second world war had to come, because of the fool's way the allies ended the first, no reason, no logic, and no attempt to ameliorate the issues that were the base cause. We called it "the Great War", as did most, because we presumed it would be "the war which decided, once and for all, the standing of the European Nations, and end centuries of non-stop war.
No one analyzed the cause of the war, the issues between the nations, and no effort was made to establish a "Europe" capable of resuming trade, diplomacy and voluntary interaction, in place of war, but sanctions were laid, nations charged, and with this, anger was maintained and elevated, the root causes of the war, exacerbated, and the second "great war" assured by the idiocy of the so called "diplomats". Rather than any attempt to find a coherent middle way, the primary focus was punitive, only a pure idiot could even imagine this failing to produce retaliation, and war which would make the previous appear "a walk in the park", and we did get such a war.
Today, Russia, China, Turkey, and a number of normally left out of the count nations have chosen to establish a new paradigm, stay their hand when confronted, and stay the course of their plan, and end our game.
As one who has been to war, spent two decades in war's service, I have great hope and faith in the correctness of this action, the care taken by those who could just turn on us, and their full intent on making "a peaceable world" we never would allow come to fruition. I only hope we, "The American People" learn the lesson which is right before us for all to see, and only the blind can possible fail to know the truth. The question is; do we care more about "our slipping grasp, shortly to be gone", or continuing to exist, albeit in a world we definitively "don't rule".
Semper Fidelis,
John McClain

After Uranium One, it would make sense to assume Russia would have preferred Hitlery in the White House - Uranium One gives Russia something they know all the details of and something they know the US public won't take lightly, so they could easily have blackmailed Hitlery with leaking those details.

Of course they also know Hitlery is a massive warmongering Nazi terrorist, but then again, looks like Trump doesn't differ very much from her on that.

Kjell • 6 years ago

Trump is doing something that scares the elite more than another bloody war. If Trump succeed US public will be brought into shock, and go nuts (we will all be scared to death if we see some alien sitting beside News anchor. The children will go pale)

Guest • 6 years ago

No need for paranoia, it is a veritable American love fest at the Kremlin, RIA, etc., ever since the CIA informed Moscow that they had "information" on an imminent attack in Russia.

Funny how the CIA has better intel on terrorism in Russia than the Russians do, even stranger than the RF leadership doesn't seem to question the situation what so ever.

Got to hand it to the Americans, a couple of months ago Putin joked about RF "cells" in the USA and now the CIA hands the RF a real cell all ready to go murder some Russians.

Some people talk a good game while some people actually take action.

Orraloon • 6 years ago

Yeah, the CIA threw the CIA sponsored terrorist cell under the bus. Makes for great headlines. Russia - bad, but the good old USA is humanitarian and wants to help anyway. VVP ain't that dumb

New legatum prosperity index is up: Europeans enjoy the greatest quality of life worldwide, Russians fall into more impoverishment and low quality of life.

Its no secret that, for the past 150 years, Russian's wealth, quality of life and life expectancy is unacceptably low for European standards</strong).>Norway, Finland, Switzerland, Sweden Netherlands and Denmark occupying the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th 7th and 8th places respectively.

Of course what you can expect from the morally and politically bankrupted Russiawhere:

--First moral bankruptcy: Hunting down journalists
--Second moral bankruptcy: Hunting down LGBT people
--Third moral bankruptcy: Unacceptably low life expectancy (for the western standards) due to alcoholism and street violence
--Fourth moral bankruptcy: Poverty and impoverishment, with lowest income being BELOW the poverty line
--Fifth moral bankruptcy: So many Russian women exercising the "world's oldest profession" in Europe...
